I'm late to the game on this one. Apologies.
Looks like a 'Wedding Cake' at the top - different antenna diameters for different frequency ranges - definitely a temporary fit based on it being in the middle of the flight deck - so - maybe a precursor system to the CANEWS? The shack with a fitted AC system suggests electronics gear inside as well.
Tail end of the time for the IRE/DDH's, they were used as test-platforms for systems being designed for the Frigates. IE Fraser used as the ETASS platform, which ended up 'becoming' CANTASS. (It's more complex than that...)
